Premium Member Peeked Over the Edge of Monday
Peeked over the edge of Monday Weary…eyes blinking, birds chirping Spoke to the Keurig: “black, no sugar” It growled back, slowly. It seemed to be saying: “Never go jogging with a 2 year old” How can someone with legs that short Be that quick….and curious… Every stone a mystery Every flower an invitation Every moment an inspiration. When he shouts: “PAPA!!” The kid inside me starts dancing. John...

Over the Edge, Four Flights Up
` I opened the rusted iron gateway bound in chain and wire, to find a landing caked in muddied footprints, scattered about like roaches Magpie shadows course the rain soaked streets and puddle patterns reflect temptation as light flickers from second floor moan filled parlors, painted nails scratching Navigating the fog entrenched alley, garbage bins fallen create a maze of skinned shins and...

Over the Edge
Jack and Sam were two inseparable souls Best friends tend to be like that, especially if both were born on the same day They were two good looking kids, who liked to play rough and tumble Didn't mind scraping their knees on the ground They had a zest for life, most people did say ... but their lives ended in a tragic way This...

Over the Edge
I fell over the edge of the world, And my soul began to unfurl, All around me impression came and went in a blizzard like swirl, My mind began to quiver and twirl. I was in the midst of depression, Caught up in a whirlwind of regression, Wanting to lash out with hatred and aggression, What I need is a spiritual resurrection. I...

Standing Over the Edge
I'm standing over the edge taking my last breath...before I retreat back to safety, back to uncertainty Why am I hesitant, scared I said it, believed it, punctuated it decided to go through with it yet...I'm still here Why am I still alive... at the top of my lungs I shout "WHY AM I STILL ALIVE?!" Everyday I'm suffering, choking on apathy suffocating on insults and...

Premium Member Walking Across the Bridge of Life I Stopped To Peer Over the Edge
Walking across the bridge of life, I stopped and peered over the fence. Below was what life didn’t offer, It was black and so immense. Oblivion could answer the problems I face, All the troubles of life today, Oblivion could remove every mountainous issue, Packed up, then sent away. All it would take would be a climb and a jump, A few...

Over the Edge
Leaning over the edge That’s what we were doing Just leaning over the edge to hope to dip our toes in water that we prayed was not too deep to touch But why would it matter if we could not touch? Would we sink? Would it matter if we did? We could sink because who were we anyway, Just the town...

His suicide note made it plain That he could no longer cope with the pain And the tears in his eyes told the tale Of a life filled with sorrow's travail He felt he could no longer maintain Depression drove him over the edge Now he stood on a narrow ledge Ready to...

Over the Edge
These men whose empty eyes are bright As vacant windows set in stone; Sift through the echoes of black night When fog and wind speak silence alone. On forsaken paths and in empty halls One can see them deformed and hollow; Like wild shapes that climb prison walls They hold the vision they could not follow. Open the door softly, the faceless form Weaves...

Over the Edge
I'm infused with pain  I draw incisions on my vain  cutting deeper each time  falling deeper into my depression mad at the world pissed at god for ripping away the 3 people I loved  I watched as my mothers heart was ripped out of her chest and murdered  to young to understand that pain  i'll just slice another vain  no one cares...

Over the Edge
Over the Edge So your mad at me What can I say, except Go away and come back again another Day shut your mouth you just Hide the shame and let me take all The blame and now I see how You play this game I'm over the edge Hear my pledge You won't break me down I don't want to hear a sound Coming from you,...
